A MAGA influencer known as Raw Ricci, who often appeared on Fox News criticizing crime and homelessness in San Francisco, was arrested on suspicion of pimping a woman for sex work. Ricci Lee Wynne, 39, was taken into custody at San Francisco International Airport after a police investigation linked him to the sexual assault of a 15-year-old. During a search of his apartment, Wynne was charged with pimping and pandering. Police reports suggest that he was traveling with an adult woman whom they believe he was exploiting for sex work. Although the woman was detained, she was later released by the San Francisco police.
Ricci Lee Wynne has a significant following on social media platforms like Instagram, where he has over 100,000 followers, and X, where he has over 29,000 followers. His content often revolved around his complaints about the crime situation in San Francisco. Despite his arrest, it is unclear whether Wynne has legal representation. Records show that he is currently in custody.
During the search of Wynne’s residence, detectives found three cell phones that allegedly belonged to him. These phones contained evidence suggesting his involvement in sex work, including rates and services. However, Wynne denied ownership of the phones and any involvement in pimping activities. This is not the first time Wynne has had a run-in with the law. In 2019, he was arrested for possessing weapons and promoting illegal activities on social media. After pleading guilty, he was released in 2021 on time served and ordered to undergo drug treatment.
Wynne gained notoriety for his social media content that showed him harassing homeless individuals and people using drugs in the streets of San Francisco. One video even captured him jokingly opening a woman’s car door without her permission as he commented on its condition. Despite his controversial behavior, Wynne was invited as a guest on Fox News programs like “Jesse Watters Primetime” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” where he continued to criticize the city’s crime rates.
As San Francisco deals with rising concerns about crime leading up to the 2024 election, Wynne’s case remains active. The police are encouraging anyone with information related to the investigation to come forward. It is essential to address issues related to crime and exploitation in the community to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
